END OF APRIL 2019

Another month has passed us by and tomorrow will be the fifth month of this year.  Where has all the time gone?  I have gotten back on track with book 2 of the Windy Haven Trilogy and the writing is going well.  I have been able to write at least 1,000 words per day and will be escalating that to reach between 3,000 and 5,000 each day.  Will let you know how that goes next time.

My First Page Friday went really well and I am pleased with the coverage it got.  I have been working on the back cover blurb for Willow: Family Betrayal (Windy Haven Trilogy Book 2) and my children's book Buzby: Friend or Foe with a lot of comments from my writer's group members both pro and con.  I will make the final decision in a few weeks on both and add them to the covers.

Buzby:  Friend or Foe has been going a bit slow as I have been doing a lot of research and now have several pages of information to work from.  Current completed cover below.  This is scheduled for release in early June so guess I had better get to work on it.


BELOW IS BUZBY

    
I am also working on a Novella that I will be able to give away at some point for those who sign up for my newsletter and will have more information on those two things near the end of summer.

Once I have a title for it you will be the first to know, but a short teaser about it.  It is a story about a young man who becomes a recluse and how he deals with it.  Once he finds the reasons why his life will change a great deal.

That's all for now.  I will be back around the 15th of May with an update as to whether or not I got to the daily word count I am striving for.  Until then, hope that Spring will join us at some point soon.
